6700 ----> TP or should I wait?

[chrisaroz]

I switched from my 6700 to TP a month ago and love it. It's smaller, lighter, and faster than the 6700. I did have some difficulty finding one, but keep calling your local store (be that annoying guy) and it will pay off. I would strongly recommend considering just how badly you need the keyboard though as I debated whether I should return mine for a Diamond.

Battery Life's Better
Overheating hasn't been an issue (it is warmer than the 6700, but that's to be expected IMO).
I've been using the stock adapter for headphones thus far, but will be getting a new one soon (usb - 3.5). It sucks that they didn't just put in a 3.5 to start with, but with a new adapter it won't be any different than the 6700.

I was really hoping to hold out for the Touch HD, but when they announed it wasn't coming stateside I settled on the PRO and have benn happy since.

Something else to consider (which I found out too late) is that your current chargers and adapters will work. While the plug on the bottom is different (special mini-usb), regular mini-usb adapters plug in. Also, it comes with Microsoft Voice Command free, which is very nice (I had purchased it and had been using it on the 6700).

My biggest complaint is that the controls require human touch, so you can't dial with gloves on.

And don't forget, once you (find and) get one there's the 30 day return policy.

Hope that helps!
